Pay-Per-Call Prepaid Plan of Tata Indicom and Tata Teleservices

Tata Teleservices introduced a new tariff plan “Pay-Per-Call” for pre-paid CDMA subscribers. The calls will be charged Re 1 for all local calls and Rs 3 for long distance calls, regardless of the duration.

Tata Indicom and Teleservices subscribers would be able to avail of the plan by paying a daily fee of Re 1 or Rs 30 monthly and call rates would also apply on mobile to landline and to calls made to other networks.

The plan also offers subsidised rate for SMS at 50 paise, for both local and national SMS.

“Pay-per-call will change the pricing paradigm in the telecom space and endless talks does not mean the caller will misuse the facility as there will be monitoring of the calling pattern of subscribes once any abuse of the scheme is noticed. Usually a caller talks for 4 to 5 minutes on a local call and three minutes on STD”, said Tata Teleservices managing director Anil Sardana. [source]
